General Music is a course designed to assist teachers and students in creating original music through engaging and accessible materials and activities. The text presents a novel approach to composition teaching and learning, aimed at fostering the development of compositional abilities such as feelingful intention, musical expressivity, and artistic craftsmanship. The instructional materials are aligned with real-world tasks from various genres, including songwriting/choral music, composition, visual media, instrumental music, electronic music, and digital media, as well as music theater. These activities seamlessly integrate into existing curricular frameworks, making it easy for teachers to incorporate them into their teaching.

Students will progress from participating in teacher-facilitated whole-class lessons to more independent compositional work using Sketchpages. These unique graphic organizers combine elements of a composer's notebook with doodle space to assist students in planning compositions, tracking their thoughts throughout the compositional process, and documenting their analysis of completed works.

By utilizing these resources, General Music provides an effective platform for promoting creativity, critical thinking, and musical expression among middle school students. It offers a comprehensive and engaging curriculum that fosters the development of compositional skills and encourages students to explore their artistic potential in a fun and meaningful way.
